Understanding ISO 29993:2017

ISO 29993:2017 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization to address quality and transparency in learning services provided outside formal education, including corporate training, vocational education, continuing professional development, and other non-formal educational services. The standard provides a framework for learning service providers to design, deliver, and evaluate their educational offerings in a way that ensures consistency, quality, relevance, and learner satisfaction.

The ISO 29993:2017 Lead Auditor Course by CDG goes beyond merely interpreting the clauses of the standard. It delves deeply into the audit methodology, processes, and practical implementation strategies required to evaluate the conformity and effectiveness of learning service providers under the ISO 29993:2017 framework.
